I don't know about that. I was told I'd get a stimulus check - and bam - it showed up in my checking account.
Exactly what I was thinking. Customers who ordered vehicles identical to mine have build dates.
..and let's not overlook that "etc." at the end of the list. Doesn't that apply to anything at any given moment for any reason?
It maybe cheaper to take the loss of tax on a new JL rubicon than the price of an oem hardtop. Ford charges $1700 for led headlamps. Haha
You know what, it really doesblaming everything on webasto
FOrd Could fix the is problem or help iF they would offer dual top option now , build with soft top and send hard top later . Or build soft top with wiring and washer hook ups for add on , not switching to a soft top without itTodays email.

What about current scheduled orders: We have been told by our zone managers that if you currently have a VIN you are OK and the hard top issue should NOT affect you. Of course, this is not in writing but has been verbally confirmed by at least 2 reps.
What about FEs that haven’t been scheduled yet: Again, non-confirmed information is that a large chunk of these will be looked at next week when another round of scheduling happens. Not sure if it will be the balance of what’s left or just a portion.
Am I screwed if I’m a WT or 2 door: Neither the email nor associated FAQ address this question except for FE orders. There has been no information to say yes or no but several of us believe you may be hosed. I hope additional communication comes out to address this.
If I change tops will it get built: No, sort of. The FAQ plainly states you have a better chance of getting built if you have a 4 door, soft top and none of the restricted commodities. There is no guarantee changing these will get you built as dealer allocation and time stamp are still major factors.
Allocation: Ford states they intend to continue to schedule as many builds as they can within the production capacity and commodity constraints. We have heard they intend to fill dealer allocation numbers regardless if a customer walks away from the order or not. This could mean the dealer has a unit on the lot that they are free to sell. What it doesn’t mean is there is some sort of dirty deal between Ford and the dealers. If we tell Ford a customer wants the vehicle, they are going to build and ship it. Customer decides not to take delivery it’s still our problem.
Production: Ford is going to build as many units as possible but is likely to miss the targets they set at the beginning. There are no figures available to say how far short of the target they will be as several factors have impacted this.
What happens if you don’t get a ’21: No information has been provided to us yet to answer this. We assume they will have 2 more rounds of scheduling to fill out the ’21 model year. They may ask us to reconfirm ’22 model orders and make changes as needed. Nothing has been communicated related to time stamps, however we assume they will try to build ’22 models with consideration to commodity availability and time stamp.
I know, not picking on you. Just tired of reading "switch to something you don't want and maybe you'll get it". If Bronco was only offered in 4 dr, I wouldn't have looked twice.I didn’t say EVERYONE would switch.
Todays email.
